[E] [A] [D]
We all know of Foster [E] the writer, [A] the master of lyric [D] and verse, and the pictures he paints
of [E] Australia, or the fading come folk [A] down to earth.
[G] But of this man who writes for [D] his people, [E] I think of him [A] first as a man, [G] a lover of
life and [E] his family, [A] proud and concerned [D] for his land.
Recognition and fame [E] hasn't changed him, [A] not like so many [D] I know.
Good fortune could not [E] rearrange him, and if, hell you if, your friend [A] or foe, [G] we've
travelled the same [D] roads together, [E] and shared lots of good [B] times and bad, [G] he helped me when
[E] others would never [A] have worried about [D] problems I had.
[E]
[A] [D]
[B] [D] Should some day he fall out [E] of favour, [A] in this fickle old world [D] of today, my loyalty
would [E] never waver, and a helpful voice made [A] on his way.
[G] He remembers when life [D] was much lighter, but [E] he'll run his own race [A] while he can.
[G] You may idolise Foster [E] the writer, but [A] I'm so proud of Foster [D] the man.
You know as you go [E] through life you'll find that you'll have [A] many mates and lots of friends,
[D] but if you can leave this world knowing that just a handful of those people [E] have stuck
by you during your darkest hours, then you're a [A] lucky person.
I don't know how [G] many I'll have when it's my turn to go, [D] but one thing I do know, Stan
[E] Foster will be one of those few.
[A] Ah yes.
[G] You may idolise [E] Foster the writer, [A] but I'm so proud of Foster [D] the man.
[A] I'm so proud of Foster the [D] man.
